Matthew Rolston, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking black and white photographic portrait features musician Adam Levine captured by photographer Matthew Rolston. In the composition, a reflection of Levine in profile appears inside a framed mirror mounted on a dark, textured wall. To the right, an electric guitar hangs vertically, its neck extending upwards out of frame, while a handwritten lyric or track list sheet is taped to the wall on the left. In the extreme foreground, the blurred arm and shoulder of the subject stretch outward toward the viewer, creating a sense of depth and dimensionality. The lighting is moody and directional, casting soft shadows that accentuate the contours of the subject's face and arms.
